"Steve Perry - Aliens 01 - Earth Hive" - читать интересную книгу автора (Perry Steven)

Humans rely on technology to the point where they believe it has made them invincible. When
dealing with creatures who have adapted to extremely hostile environments, such a belief can also
prove dangerous.

EXT. CORPORATION LANDER

The lander lifts from the planet’s surface.

CLOSER—ON THE LANDER

Clutching a strut on the lander’s underside is AN ALIEN.

V.O. (CONT.)
Because an unsuited human cannot survive in the vacuum of space does not mean that some
other complex life form cannot.

INT. CORPORATION STAR SHIP—CARGO BAY—HIGH ANGLE

Across the bay walk TWO MEN.

PULL BACK TO OTS (OVER-THE-SHOULDER)—ALIEN

It watches the men. Drool drips from its lethal jaws.

ALIEN’S POV—THE MEN

It moves in. They react in horror as it attacks. BLOOD SPLASHES, blanking the VP.

INT. AIRLOCK

The hatch opens and the Alien is ejected by the outward blast of atmosphere. TRACK WITH
IT as it flies into space, turning slowly.
 V.O.

ball, tail wrapped around the massive claw-hammer head and spiky body.

V.O.
Properly utilized, such aliens would make excellent warriors. Research into their composition
could yield advances in armor, chemical and biological weapons, and perhaps even new ways to
induce suspended animation for stellar travel.
